This realistically rendered fish frequently appears as an announcer or host for various news reports and other events in Bikini Bottom. In The Fry Cook Games, he refers to himself as "A Realistic Fish Head". In the Battle for Bikini Bottom video game, where he is the announcer for the main boss fights, he is credited as "Johnny".
The realistic Fish Head has been the announcer at such events as the 21st Fry Cook Games. He was the narrator of the King of Karate video in "Karate Island", and voiced the loudspeaker at the Bikini Bottom Zoo in "The Smoking Peanut". In addition to annoucing events in Bikini Bottom, Johnny also serves as a news anchorman for the Bikini Bottom News. Most of the news reports he gives are regarding disasters in Bikini Bottom.
The only times where he has ever interacted with the main characters (as he usually only appears on a screen) are in "No Free Rides" and "Procrastination", and both of these were during dream/fantasy sequences. His voice is often heard when he himself is not shown, so it is uncertain if he is speaking during these instances, as in "No Free Rides" and "Suction Cup Symphony", his voice is different from his usual one. He also appears during the theme song, when the line "Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish" is sung. He is voiced by Doug Lawrence except for "Suction Cup Symphony" where he was voiced by Tom Kenny .
